Leveling ideas for large DOBs

Hello all,

I just took delivery of a new Orion XX16g and the engineering looks just amazing. I'm moving up from a Meade Lightbridge 12 and there is just no comparison in the quality of things like covers, counter weight mounts, etc. Really impressed. This scope is really heavy though and the goto function needs a level base. What are others with larger DODs with tracking/goto doing to level the base? I bought the wheelbarrow style wheel kit but not the 4 wheel cart which just seems too big.

Appreciate any ideas.

Thanks,

Allan
